A major orthodox system of Hindu philosophy based on Sankhya (metaphysical dualism) but differing from it in being theistic and characterized by the teaching of raja-yoga as a practical method of liberating the self. It includes a system of exercises for attaining bodily or mental control and well-being with liberation of the self and union with the universal spirit. (From Webster, 3d ed)

Complete Treatment of Diabetes (Very briefly).
Formulated by Sumeru Ray (Maharishi MahaManas)
If no internal organs are severely damaged then complete recovery is possible through this treatment. There are no side effects of this treatment. However, without sufficient knowledge, consciousness and desire to gain health, this treatment method of mine will not be effective. 'I will just take medicine and be fine'. This way of thinking must be abandoned.
It is a four-pronged treatment method. These include:
1) A nanomedicine specially made from human pancreatic gland that will heal the pancreas. Another nanomedicine associated with this will protect patients from autoimmune disorders.
2) A combination of herbal medicine that will heal the liver, gallbladder and digestive system.
3) Meditation and Nidra Yoga should be practiced regularly in the prescribed manner to gain mental well-being. Along with that, light exercise should be done regularly.
4) Autophagy or fasting should be done every fifteen days. Or to fast every night.
Although I created this method long ago, I never tried to establish it. Because establishing a new medical system requires a lot of effort and spending a lot of money which is not possible for me at this age. If any powerful person and organization come forward, I am ready to help them on condition. thank you

how the yoga increasing incretin hormone levels along with mechanisms?
how yoga is affecting the epigenetics and is there any mechanisms available?
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any study about Yoga or Pranayama practices and its benefits over heart rate variability. It's very important for my current study.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Teacher: I feel so exhausted all the time
Central Office: Have you tried yoga or running or meditation?
Let's stop telling teachers to do yoga and meditate (UNLESS that’s what they want and choose to do). Instead, let’s advocate for making teaching a sustainable career!
I need to analyse the effect of Yoga on quality of life in drug addicted individuals
I'm a yoga teacher and MAPP student looking to write my dissertation on the links between yoga practice and flourishing/wellbeing. I'm in the very early stages of looking at this topic.
I am working on an interdisciplinary research at the intersection between clinical psychology and yoga practice as a cultural phenomenon in the Western world.
What I want is to eliminate the confusion and potential for mental suffering from the practice of yoga in the West.
The theme of my research is the experience of the awakening of kundalini in groups of yoga practitioners. The research is qualitative and follows three directions:
a) to prove the existence of the phenomenon for the western clinical psychologist, in order to have a correct understanding.
b) an emphasis on social vulnerability that might occur during the phenomenon (including vulnerability to abuse)
c) A psychodynamic understanding of how yoga practitioners signify this experience.
I am still building a questionnaire and an interview guide and I am trying to integrate the most important dimensions of the psyche (defined in psychology therms) involved in kundalini experience.
Our paper is about adaptations of practices from the East in the West, including yoga, mindfulness and other forms of meditation. We are looking for references that support that practices are compromised when not applied in full. This could be because of people or organisations 'cherry-picking' what suits them while ignoring the philosophy in which they are embedded, or other examples that have been soundly explored, or a related theory.
Thanks in advance, scholars!
Mysticism is often treated as the opposite of science. But is it? Please see
kindly provide list of physiology/ yoga journals with no publication charges indexed in pubmed/scopus/WOS/DOAJ.
I’m a student of philosophy and religious studies. I’m also someone who practices mindfulness techniques to deal with stress and the effects of some permanent physical injuries. I’ve been impressed by how mindfulness has improved my life, and I’m interested in learning more about its history, how it works, and how it affects others. As part of a research project, I’m asking mindfulness practitioners some basic questions about their relationship with mindfulness to better understand how people use, understand, and benefit from their practice.
If you’re interested in participating, please complete my short survey and feel free to pass it along to others. It only takes about 3 minutes since it consists of just 3 demographics questions and 4 questions about mindfulness. It is 100% anonymous and will not ask for any contact information. The survey closes at 5PM EST on April 2nd, 2021.
we all have our own thought and experience regarding yoga and meditation, we all know it's a miracle unexplainable to those who do he/she feel it.What's your view regarding it.
I work in an adult day health program as a yoga therapist. I also sing. The program is a certified music and memory program, some of the clients are musicians. I am noticing the triggering of musical memories during our chair yoga classes and I am curious if yoga could be used in memory health in combination with music.
It's matter of big discussion that traditional medicine may play key role in management of Covid-19. Recently, in India, Ayurveda and Yoga has been included in National management protocol for asymptomatic n mild cases of Covid-19.
During the period between 2010 and till date we encountered only one case of bullous pemphigoid. We treated the case with Wrightia tinctoria extract. There was disappearance of signs and symptoms in 12 months of treatment. No signs and symptoms appeared after discontinuing treatment for one year.and six months. The patient was advised healthy dieting and maintain healthy life style.
No smoking, no drinking, no soft drinks or juices with preservatives, no animal protein, regular excretion of waste body metabolites through sweat, urine, stool and breathe. Regular physical activity preferably exercise or Yoga. Fasting in sleep. Maintain positive emotions, meditation and Yoga

Can the coronavirus travel to the lower lungs during deep breathing exercises, such as during yoga?
There’s no evidence that yoga breathing facilitates the virus going into the deeper parts of the lungs. Once you’re infected with the virus, it’s going to spread in your airways. The way you breathe or don’t breath won’t play much of a role.
I am investigating effect of yoga therapy on cardiovascular response to stress. There are two groups- Control (with no yoga intervention) and Yoga Group. They are tested in two conditions "Resting" and after "Stress" (IHG Test) over a period of 4 weeks. Variables are SBP, DBP, MAP, HR, RPP.
I have run the doubly multivariate analysis separately for "Resting" and "Stress" conditions, that is, Control Vs. Yoga group for resting condition and then again for Stress condition.
Data presentation is as follows,
Group SBP0 SBP1 SBP2 SBP3 SBP4 DBP0 DBP1 DBP2 ........
control

Is this a proper data presentation to run doubly multivariate in GLM Repeated measure analysis in SPSS?
Questions to be investigated are-
1. Whether there is an beneficial effect of intervention (yoga therapy) on CVS parameters leading to group difference- Between subjects effect in Resting And Stress conditions
2. Whether there is "Within Subject effect" of time factor?
3. Should I also test the interaction effect, Time*Group? What does it indicate if it is statistically significant?
Is my approach to run the analysis separately for Resting condition and Stress condition correct?
Can anyone help me to explain what are the relevant tables to be included in reporting results as regards above three questions?
Are there any illustrations available which are similar to my study?
Please guide.....

Few Days ago during International Yoga Day (21st June) some of the news channels came with the debate whether one should practice Surya Namaskar or not? The question is relation to the answer of that debate whether Surya Namaskar is related to any religion or it has some scientific bases?
Surya Namaskar is the combination of 12 Yoga postures. Several articles emphasize that it is useful for physical fitness and hormonal balance.
Is there any scientific study over it which proves the statement?
I am starting a corporate wellness program in Israel and would be interested to study the effects of my program, perhaps with someone who is already doing research in this area.
India is going to become or has become the world capital for diabetes. A country which has a high value for traditional medicine and the seat for Yoga has suddenly seen itself as the world capital of Diabetes and heart disease.
Most blame it on life style but even a short look back into the lives of Indians in the past the Family values were high and had a joint family.
But today the nuclear family itself is unable to withstand the stress of family and as a result has seen more conflicts within the family.
Very easy to say Im a diabetic but its also sad to see families after families succumbing to the gene of diabetes.
who will end the chain?

Hi
I'm conducting an exercise intervention with office workers. The intervention will include Yoga classes and one to one coaching. I will be looking at the effects of the intervention on two dependent variables: 1.walking
2. the amount of time workers spend standing.
I have a control group and a treatment group. Walking data will be measured using pedometers, and standing time will be measured using a self-report questionnaire.
Am I right in thinking that a two-way unrelated ANOVA is needed to test for difference between the groups?
Thanks in advance
What is the take of modern science on ancient sciences like Vedas, Puranas, Yoga, Ayurveda etc? Do they qualify as science? Why and Why not?

Do you know any intervention program that performs aerobic exercise with teachers to improve their wellbeing or similar variables related to your health (stress, anxiety, burnout, depresion?
There are numerous intervention programs that use techniques like yoga or mindfulness but I have not found one that is based on aerobic exercise.
I am conducting research on the subject and I would like to document myself. Thank you.
The Integrative Medicine is gaining popularity and acceptance as it consists of many healing therapies to treat many diseases. In mini form it is existing in India as Ayurved doctors always prescribes medicine, diet, yoga, meditation, mantra etc. but the present emerging IM is covering many existing therapies so domain is wider. There is need of a post-graduate course of general integrative medicine open for all medical graduates. As it advances the specialty integrative post graduate course may be introduced like integrative cardiology etc.
What type of memory in humans gets better after 10 minutes of yoga or tai chi?
Hello,
Concerning my recent discussion to write a research proposal for my PhD degree. ‘Subject Insomnia.’ After undertaking some limited research into this problem. It is recognised that anxiety, depression, and stress are the main contributors to this illness.
Yoga can be a way forward in relieving the symptoms of this health issue.
I have just signed up for some Yoga sessions at my local gym. Its early days, but I hope to prove that Yoga can help me to relax while monitoring my own sleep patterns. I have attached a link to the ‘kundalini Research Institute’ for viewing. It recognised that there is much more research needed for the benefits of Yoga.
If we know that headaches can be caused by the tension of muscles of the neck, shoulders and head, stress, medication, poor nutrition, alcohol, hormonal imbalances, constipation, low blood pressure ... then the detection of the cause and its removal is the right path for resolving headache problems.
One of the totally natural approaches are asana yoga exercises.
The basic principles in the yoga are deep breathing and extraction of the spinal column. "Yoga helps relieve tension and relieve stress, which are the main causes of headaches. By practicing asanas, the brain is supplied with more oxygen, thereby reducing or eliminating headaches." - Lynn A. Anderson, Doctor of Naturopathy and Yoga Teacher.
There are and many other natural solutions that help to eliminate tension and reduce the effect of stress, and thus prevent the onset of headache: in short: strict adherence to all known health-appropriate life habits, ie abandonment of everyday familiar unhealthy lifestyle, tobacco smoking first, alcohol consumption and nutrition to canned foods, combination of goat cheese and red wine, ... consumption of organically produced foods, rich water magnesium or from the addition of regular low-dose magnesium tablets in tablets ... avoiding staying outside during extreme atmospheric circumstances ...
All you know that by the efforts of Indian celebrities and the positive results of Yoga has made it a global phenomena. Similarly, do you think that Ayurveda has the potential to go global like Yoga.
Your views are solicited.
Thanks
To make aware our colleagues about the benefits of yoga, I am asking this question.
I'm looking for text that mention female practitioner of hatha yoga, or special asana or pranayama related to women.
When it comes to physical practices one might find differences in instructions.
My hypothesis is that practicing yoga provides body and mind consciousness and therefore improves the ability of regulating one's emotions and behaviours by acting on the inhibitory control.
I plan to set an experiment with children aged 5 as this is the best age for acting on the development of their executive functions, but in reality this will depend on the class level I will be affected to.
Therefore, I am looking for any research made on this subject (no matter the age of the subjects).
We have EKG and respiration data recorded using ADinstruments. Could anyone suggest the steps to assess the cardiorespiratory synchronization ratio?

Deep breathing and body postures (e.g. yoga poses) can cause a beneficial massage-effect on visceral organs (e.g. thyroid gland, pancreas, intestines)?
I've heard this in many yoga schools, and they added that this is an essential mediator of the effect of yoga on health (even treating mild hormonal diseases were suggested to be possible).
Yet, I failed to find any scientific results. Do you know about such work?
During the period between 2010 and September 2017 We treated over 1500 psoriasis cases. There was disappearance of signs and symptoms of psoriasis in many cases after discontinuing Wrightia tinctoria herbal usage for a period of 5 to 7 years. The patients are advised to follow healthy dieting and healthy life style. No smoking, no drinking and no soft drinks or juices with preservatives,. Night fasting in sleep. No animal protein. Maintain regular physical activity preferably Yoga or exercise. Regular excretion of waste body metabolites through sweat, urine, stool and breathe. To keep positive emotions and to meditate.

Can we just control our Blood pressure i.e If someone is hypertensive he can reduce his BP, but if someone have low blood pressure can he improve it through Yoga?
I am interested in all kinds of accounts (even single-case studies) and particularly in the specific effects of combining such verbal and non-verbal practices.

Most of the available cognitive assessment tools are for abnormal people.
I am trying to grade the cognition in normal people.
I am interested in doing research on effect of yoga on cognitive abilities in normal population.
The season has came for colds. Several people suffer repeatedly with cough & cold. What may be the treatment in Yoga Therapy?
Yoga, or what passes off as Yoga in the western world, is a $30 billion industry in the United States.. People of all ages contort themselves into positions like 'downward dog' and believe that they are doing Yoga. Due to the limitations and failures of modern allopathic health systems, increasingly people are turning to alternative and complementary eastern health systems in the hope of a cure for their mental and physical ailments. Capitalist tendencies are quick to capitalize on this ignorance/demand and quick to offer a number of services and goods(gadgets) to fool the consumer even further.
All the Yoga texts state that Yoga is a mental process to achieve equanimity, mental poise, stillness of the mind, 'Chitta vriddhi nirodaha'. 'Asana' is mental balance and stability in whatever you do in life, not a physical pose to hold for a convenient time, or at a convenient place(studio). How come its so far away from the truth when it comes to western understanding & practice of Yoga? What has been "Lost in Translation"? If individuals continue to choose the 'juicier' parts of Yoga philosophy(for example the health benefits) and twist it to suit their own convenience in the name of 'freedom' (due to the munificence of the original seers who sought no exclusive rights and patents) and ignore the ethical, spiritual, human, environmental and disciplinary parts, is there a danger of Yoga losing its meaning? By only taking the parts we want, isn't the very purpose of Yoga lost? Why bother calling it Yoga at all and add to the deepening confusion everywhere? Should the charade of the emperor's new clothes continue or an attempt made to define the science for what it actually is?
David:
1. Yoga is not ancient Indian philosophy. It does not belong to anyone, or to Hinduism. It is the heritage of all mankind who have arose from a single source. The geographical, cultural, political and demographical entity known as India now, received it & practiced it to preserve the science of Yoga faithfully. Other inheritors lost it, while India preserved it as a sacred science, recognizing its essentiality. But all mankind are the inheritors. You have the same right as anyone from India has over Yoga. This is probably difficult for Americans to comprehend in the times of cutthroat copyrights, intellectual property rights and patents. The ancient seers of Yoga never claimed patents(not even signing their names, preferring to remain anonymous)and gave the science to all the children of mankind, saying that they themselves received it, proclaiming 'Loka Samastha Sukhinoh Bhavanthu"! May All Worlds be Happy! This is long before any religion even came into the picture.
Yoga is 'open source', but please don't misinterpret and use it to misguide humanity to make your own living. Using wisely, responsibly, remaining true to its actual content is a way of showing respect to the 'original' giver.
2. It is not based on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras. Patanjali is a seer who organised & codified the science into sutras, terse aphorsims, in the recent past, recognising that in the age of Kali, man's limited intelligence is liable to lose the science altogether. It is not even known if he is a human being as he is usually depicted with the lower half of his body coiled like a snake(pic). The snake is a representation of Time in Yoga. He is also known as the Lord of Time. In the Bhagavad Gita(circa 3200 BC), Krishna states that the ancient science was lost many times in the hoary past and every time He descends to deliver the same science to Man to subjugate evil. The science of Yoga is the original 'Operations manual' of man. It is the 'Science of Man'. We descended from a source and the way back to the source is Yoga. The path and the goal is Yoga.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a recent (15th century )abridged work that lays emphasis on the physical posture part so that the main goal of Yoga is achieved without bodily interference.
3. I would rather not comment on the level of absurdity Yoga has been misinterpreted by commercial interests in America. Cherry-picking is both harmful and counterproductive. What would happen if the government let people cherry pick the American constitution and interpret it according to their own comfort zone?
4. There's no mud slinging going on here, only concern that the 'adulterated ' version may become 'mainstream' and the truth lost forever. Blowback effect ?
5.On the contrary, this is an attempt to prevent people from getting hurt by clearing the air. Are you stating that the "Ignorance is Bliss" mode, status quo, is Ok? Am I throwing a spanner in the well oiled sham?
Regards
One of my friend wants some help with a study titled "A study of the effects of yogic intervention on eating disorder cognition among adolescents".
Practice of yoga improves the physical health. There are a number of studies available that prove the efficacy of yoga as therapy. Can someone practice it during spinal cord injury?
Yoga experts claim that meditation can transform the personality. What is the mechanism of this?
As Kapalbhati is a Shatkarma Kriya (cleansing practice) and Hathayogic texts states that cleansing should be done first and than Asana - Pranayama etc. But generally Yoga instructors instruct between the practice. Why don't we discuss it and reach on to a conclusion?
I am currently interning with a nonprofit organization called Street Yoga. We team up with social service agencies to provide yoga and wellness classes to at-risk and homeless youth. We are in the process trying to develop our program evaluation and are trying to find reliable instruments to measure how well our program helps participants. We would like to measure how well our programs help participants with resilience, reduction of trauma, self-esteem, self-awareness, but with that in mind, we are still in the beginning stages of figuring out exactly what constructs we want to measure. Does anyone know of instruments that are already being used to measure similar programs or yoga therapy programs? Or what constructs are being measured?
Although 21st century man has made incredible strides in medicine, science and technology, if we look at the international tables for morbidity, mortality and happiness then what we see (particularly in the urbanized materially wealthy western world) that despite increasing our longevity, it is apparent that we have not made similar progress in increasing our happiness or our levels of mental, emotional and physical well-being i.e. mind and body management.
